b) Cut out the Mardorum Gras shape using scissors. Cut holes in the eyes. To do this easily, in the middle of the marked fold that you made with the eyes, cut around using scissors. If you want, you can use an exacto knife to cut the holes.
c) Puncture two holes (one on each side) in your ears, where you can put ribbons and ribbons to tie around your face or put on your ears to wear a Mardi Gras mask.
d) Now you are ready to add your ornaments. They put a Mardi Gras mask on the table. Place the coin in newspaper to prevent digging, scraping, or damaging your table. Apply the glue evenly on the top portion of your mask. Apply just enough glue, wipe off any excess. sprinkle glitter all over the mask. You can choose multi-colored glitter for more fun and psychedelic effects. Dry for 5-10 minutes.
e) After drying, remove the mask and see if it shines. Be gentle and allow the excess shine to fall onto the newspaper that you covered with your table. Check if there are spaces and gaps with missing glitter, add glue and sprinkle more glitter. You want to have an even distribution of highlights. So that it does not shine, you can pick up the glitters dropped on your newspaper and sprinkle them in the places where you need the glitters. Dry again. The process is continuous until the desired coverage is achieved.
f) Cut small pieces of ribbon and glue them onto the outline of the Mardi Gras mask, including the outline of the eyes. Buy the thinnest fabric you can from a craft store. They are best applied in rounded curves. Dry
